"Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, ..." (Matthew 7:1-2)
One of the things we find ourselves doing best in our comfort zones is judging others. Most often, we are guilty of making a haste judgement over one another, closing the chapter of one's record without hearing from the victim. Sometimes, we also ran the risk of using the size of our shoes as the measurement for others.
As an exhortation to this ill way of life, that today's table of the Word presents before us our Lord's Words:
"Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, ..." (Matthew 7:1-2).
This is to remind us that, God's grace is operative in each and every one of us. And that we see different from how God looks at us.
Finally, let us first of all clean ourselves of the dirt surrounding us, before we think of the body odour we presumably perceived from one another; likely the odour may be generated from the dirt surrounding us. Peace, be with you.
Let us pray
Eternal God, we appreciate the daily gift of Your Word to us. Grant us we pray to put them into action, by looking beyond the weakness of one another. For in You, there is hope for better change. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
